Heat problems on airports

The climate is changing, the summers are getting much hotter. The summers are getting so hot that
infrastructure constructions such as concrete roads and asphalt roads are reaching their limits. Here is one of many examples, airfields. The taxiways, aprons and parking areas have to be cooled with water because the pavement may reach its load limit. Costly and time-consuming repairs are the result. The heat waves are getting longer every year.
Wouldn't it be an improvement to use semi-rigid floor coverings with a temperature resistance of up to +90°C and very high load-bearing capacity in highly stressed areas? An alternative would be UHPC TopLayers that do not lose their peak load-bearing capacity even at very high temperatures.
